You're in the middle of it. What you do right now, inside and outside that courtroom, matters more than you know.
Your attorney handles the legal strategy. Nobody is handing you a plan for the relationship with your child. That gap is where reunification is won or lost. This path gives you both.
"You are not behind. You are not failing. You are a parent fighting for a relationship inside a system that was never built to repair one. The fact that you showed up here says everything about who you are."
Free. No pressure. The first step on this path.
What it means to be a parent in active court right now
Being in court means you are managing two battles at once.
The legal battle has a team. Your attorney, the filings, the hearings, the motions.
The relational battle: what happens between you and your child, has no one. No one is telling you what to do when you have parenting time and your child looks at you like a stranger. No one is coaching you on how to hold steady when every interaction could be used against you. No one is showing you how to show up in a way that builds the relationship, not just survives the visit.
That gap is what this path is built for.
Your biggest challenge right now
The combination of hypervigilance and helplessness. Watching every move, measuring every interaction for how a judge might see it, while the most important thing, your actual relationship with your child, feels completely out of your hands.
You are not broken. You are not behind.
One step at a time. In the right order.

Walk into your next hearing prepared.
Most parents leave custody preparation entirely to their attorney. That's one piece of the picture.
Child Custody Solutions teaches you what your attorney cannot: how to understand what the judge needs to see, how to build a parenting plan that demonstrates your focus on your child's wellbeing, what forensic and clinical psychology means for your case, and how to show up in a way that actually works.
This is the self-paced course that fills the gap your attorney isn't filling.
Who it is for:
- Parents in active court proceedings who feel underprepared
- Parents whose attorneys are not walking them through case prep in detail
- Parents approaching a hearing or evaluation who need clarity fast
We've heard these before. Here are honest answers.
"Dorcy Pruter has been working with alienated parents in active court proceedings for over 20 years, since 2006. She is a certified coach and the creator of the #1 court-ordered family reunification program in the country."
